Hiking

Hiking Committee Statement

The Hiking Committee offers a wide variety of hikes for both  beginner and experienced hikers.  The hikes are rated in terms of pace and terrain difficulty.  If you are not sure which hike might be suitable for you, check out the Hike codes http://www.amc-ny.org/hike_codes or contact the Hike leader.

 

We usually offer 10-24 day hikes per weekend. Most are nearby New York City and are in areas such as Harriman State Park and the State Parks and forests of Northern New Jersey, and a bit further areas such as Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, the Catskills, Adirondacks, and even the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Click on the New York New Jersey Trail Conference's Regional Trails Map to see where the hike areas are. The source of most hiking maps and information in the New York area is the Trail Conference and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference WWW Home Page is a great place to learn about them and what they offer. Check it out!

Guidelines for Hikers

While on a hike, please abide by the decision of the leader, who is responsible for the entire group not just one person. The leader's decisions are final concerning the route and conduct on hike. Any complaints should be forwarded to the Hike Committee Controller or Hike Chair.

No pets are allowed on hikes unless otherwise expressly specified in schedule by leader.

Hike Codes

HIKE CODES

Used by
Hiking, Walks & Outings, Singles & Sociables, Conservation, & Young Members
Hike rating codes consist of three parts: PACE, TERRAIN, MILEAGE - followed by a committee designation, see below.

Transportation Codes

Meeting time/place is indicated by a transportation code within each hike/excursion write-up (e.g., Trans. 1A, Trans. 1B, etc.). The codes are explained below and apply only to this schedule.

Drivers: use your NY and NJ road maps to locate the towns/routes mentioned. Do NOT call the leaders for driving directions; use your map or the web. Towns in NJ are so identified; all others are in NY.

Events meeting at public transportation places should not begin before arrival of bus or train. A leader should wait at least ½ hour for scheduled arrival, not necessarily for delayed private cars. All meeting times coincide with the bus/train time of arrival. All buses leave the NY Port Authority Bus Terminal (41 St. & 8 Ave.), unless otherwise noted. Check schedules with rail and bus lines as this schedule is printed several months in advance of events.

 

Winter Hiking 101

For many experienced hikers, winter is the best season of all. There are fewer people on the trails, no bugs, and with the leaves down, views are more spectacular. Getting started on a winter day hike in Harriman does not have to involve the purchase of a lot of expensive clothing and gear, but some experimenting with different layering techniques may be necessary.

There are 4 large bedrooms, 3

There are 4 large bedrooms, 3 downstairs and 1 upstairs. The 2 downstairs ocean front bedrooms feature 2 floor to 70-432 braindump ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto the downstairs deck and the ocean. Both of these bedrooms have queen size beds, dressers, ceiling fans, reading lamps, quality linens and unobstructed ocean views. These rooms allow you to lie in bed at night and enjoy the cool ocean breezes while you listen to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach as they lull you to sleep. The 3rd downstairs bedroom features 2 twin size beds with quality linens, ceiling fan 640-822, large wall length windows for cross ventilation as well as wall unit air conditioner. The upstairs bedroom features a queen size bed with quality linens, night tables with reading lamps, an extra large closet, ceiling fan and wall length windows for cross ventilation as well as wall unit air conditioner. Since our home is on the ocean all of the rooms are kept cool & comfortable by the on shore ocean breezes 640-863. The best part is that the ocean waves can be heard breaking on the beach from all rooms in the house...the perfect backdrop to an extremely restful nights sleep! Also, since we are situated on the dune, the predominant southwest summer breezes keep the house and decks relatively free of bugs and mosquitoes 642-262.
